Then the second time we were wrestling again in Abu Dhabi and you picked me up a little higher. It never felt disrespectful until today. You can't pick me up and spin me around. I'm a grown man, Khamzat.''Chimaev responded:''I'm showing you love, bro.''Cormier followed up by humorously questioning Chimaev about lifting him up:''But you picked me, I'm not a child. My legs spin.''The unbeaten contender then touched Cormier's belly, prompting a laugh between them.

In every wrestling facility in the world, you will find an Airdyne bike… the most difficult thing in the world to conquer... I saw Khamzat Chimaev, who many thought had a cardio issue, doing the Airdyne bike... coach [Calavitta] and Khamzat Chimaev decide that it is not enough resistance... [They] have now taken resistance bands and put them on the bars of the Airdyne bike to make the Airdyne bike harder.'' [22:36]
